International Workshop on Mathematical Foundations of Constraint Programming
(MFCP 2010)

http://zivny.cz/mfcp10/

28 August 2010, Brno, Czech republic.

The workshop will be co-located with Joint MFCS & CSL 2010 (35th International
Symposiums on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science & 19th EACSL Annual
Conferences on Computer Science Logic) , 23-27 August 2010, Brno, Czech
republic. 

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common interest
in constraint programming and constraint satisfaction problems.

Submissions of interesting theoretical and mathematical results related to
constraints are encouraged. Topics include (but are not limited to):

* Theoretical relationships between classes of CSPs and other problems.
* Complexity and expressivity of different constraint representations.
* Complexity and expressivity in the context of propagation.
* Relational structures and CSPs.
* Soft and valued constraints.
* Tractability of CSPs.
* Max-CSP, #CSP.

Survey talks, preliminary results, developments of published results, and work
in progress are welcome. Prospective speakers are invited to submit a 1-2 pages
abstract which provides sufficient detail to allow the program committee to
assess the merits of the proposal. 

Submissions, either in PostScript or PDF format, should be submitted at
https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=mfcp10.
